I'll be interested to see if anybody else manages to fit theirs.
I know my car has been in a little bump, but for some reason nothing seems to really match up very well on mine. Plus it cracked just trying to get it into position, like having to tuck it under the front wing near the headlights (you'll need them off BTW to fit it.)

So I've wasted £90 on a piece of CF that won't even fit.

Oh.. I hope this isnt the case... will update tomorrow...

Just had a go at fitting mine and all the holes line up etc but it sitting to high of the rest of the front so if i go to shut the bonnet it will crack and it doesnt fit behind the grill because its to long

Not very impressed with the fitment really but it does look a nice panel but whats the point if i cant fit it

Well i(read my mate) fitted mine on sunday... In his words it fitted like a dead epileptic. For a start there are no holes for the bits where you screw the sidelights into. It does fit way to high in some places. He trimmed a bit off the front to get the grille to fit. and drilled a couple of screw holes into the headlights just to the side of where the grille clips fit just to hold it down there... When the bonnet is up there are 1/2" gaps above the lights.

I can see why these were £95 and a garage defend is more than double that price. But honestly if i had spent £130 on this then i would have been seriously unhappy. As it stands it has been modded and fits loads better bit still no where near 100%. But thats more down to my mates dedicated manipulating.

It would be nice if EPRacing commented on these.

ZX, what did it cut like? I was worried it wouldn't cut with a nice smooth edge.

Saying that, I'd rather just get my money back.

[ZXSpectrum]

Drilled a couple of big holes with the hole cutter and a couple of smaller holes with a small drill. Cutting it with the tin snips seemed ok.. Just take your time..

Good to see EPRacing's presence in this thread...

[boss]

i tried to ring EP racing yesterday, and i got an answer phone saying they were away or on holiday,

i havent paid for mine yet, but reading the above reports i'm not too sure i'm going to,

some pictures would be good if anyone fancies posting some up?

[EPRacing]

Hi there

Sorry for the late reply. I have only just got back today from holiday and realised there is a problem with this item. I will have a chat with the factory and see what has gone wrong with the item.

In the mean time if people still want them and modify them to fit please feel free to do so and I will do it for half price.

if any customer who doesnt want them please send them back to me and I will do a full refund for you no question ask. as this item has got problem from the factory so I will deal with them to get to the bottom of it before this item will be sold again.

Sorry once again or for the late reply and the inconvenience. but I will have it sorted out asap so everyone is happy

Leon.

[skinz180189]

ZX, got any pictures of yours modified before I make a decision?

[ZXSpectrum]

will take some when i get home.. Does this mean i will get a refund for half?

[-Marc-]

Does this mean the ones we reserved but not paid for are also up for half price?

[al.]

do the frp ones fit just as badly? they haven't used the s14 mold instead of the s14a mold by mistake have they?

[ZXSpectrum]

Sorry guys didnt get home till after dark. Will try and get some pics at dinner..

[C1TPT]

I would be interested in one half price that we need to mod if it looks ok...

[skinz180189]

Ah sod it, I'll send it back.

[ZXSpectrum]

Could EP Racing please update this thread on what they are going to do with this?
